Case Study: McLean County, IL achieves HR automation and faster processing with GovOS

How McLean County, IL Leveraged Digital Solutions to Bring Automation to HR

McLean County, Illinois partnered with GovOS and its Application Studio to tackle a backlog of paper-based HR processes as the county grew and staff became increasingly distributed. With roughly 900 employees and an HR function only established in 2020, the county faced slow, error-prone onboarding, offboarding, FMLA, payroll and timekeeping workflows, plus security and multi-department approval challenges that made remote access and timely processing difficult.

Using GovOS Application Studio the county digitized forms and built multi-step workflows and eSignatures for onboarding, offboarding, FMLA, payroll changes and timecards, with mobile-friendly approvals and automated routing for security tasks. The result: dramatically faster turnaround (sometimes cutting two-week processes to two days), routine approvals within 24 hours, more than 500 live forms (including a Detention Center screening form with 18,200+ submissions), improved brand consistency and greater staff capacity to focus on higher-value work.
